22 Monthly Payment Plan Option The Monthly Payment Plan is a program intended to help students who are not able to pay their account in full by the tuition and fee deadline. Instead of one large payment, tuition and fees are broken down into equal monthly payments. Enrollment in a plan is available at the time of registration prior to beginning of each semester. See weber.edu/cashier for details about monthly payment plans. Personal Checks or eChecks Personal checks or eChecks returned by a financial institution for any reason are subject to a service charge and may result in the withholding of student records or dropping of courses. Delinquent Accoun ts Students with unpaid tuition and fees, room and board, parking fines, or other fees due to the University will have a hold placed on their records until such obligations are paid in full. The hold will prevent the student from registering for future semesters, viewing transcripts or grades, delay graduation, and limit use of the Wildcard and certain student services. Unpaid accounts will be processed by University collections. In the event additional collection efforts become necessary, WSU may refer a past due account to an outside collection agency. All delinquent accounts are subject to collection fees, interest, plus all court costs and reasonable attorney fees. The collection agency and/or WSU will report delinquent accounts to a credit reporting agency. Third Party/Sponsored Payments Students are responsible for ensuring that appropriate documentation for third party/sponsored payments is submitted to the main cashier's office prior to the start of classes each semester. Students must comply with the terms of the agreement and verify that all tuition and fees changes are paid by the sponsor agreement. It is the student's responsibility to verify that any course or tuition and fee changes will be paid by the sponsor and that these changes are reported to the accounts receivable office for proper processing. If the sponsor does not provide funding by the end of the semester, the student will be responsible for payment of tuition and fees. The account will be considered delinquent if unpaid at the end of the semester. (See Delinquent Accounts above.) Contact 801-626-6263 for information on how to submit vouchers or contracts. Administrative Withdrawals The University reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student from a current semester if a student has an unpaid tuition and fee balance from a prior semester or if the student provides a dishonored check or other payment to pay for tuition and fees. The prior semester courses will not be dropped or withdrawn. Financial Petitions Tuition and fee assessment is based on the registration date of the course and date of withdrawal from the course. The withdrawal dates are published on the academic calendar each semester. If, due to extenuating or for other acceptable circumstances, the student must drop a course after the published deadline, the student must complete the "Exception to University Policy—Tuition and Fee Assessment Petition" and submit supporting documentation. Tuition and fees are assessed according to approved tuition and fee tables. The assessment is based on the number of registered credit hours or liable hours for each student. For example, if the student signs up for 12 credit hours, he or she is liable for paying for 12 hours according to the tuition and fee table. Deadlines for Filing Petition The deadline for filing a petition is the last day of the semester of enrollment. The burden of proof rests with the student to submit documentation of circumstances that prevented the student from adhering to the University policies and procedures. For more information and forms refer to: weber.edu/accounting/cashiers/Petition.htm. Refunds and Reimbursements Student fees and course fees are refunded based on the University refund schedule (see weber.edu/cashiers). Late fees and withdrawal fees are nonrefundable. In most cases, if a credit card is used to pay for tuition and fees, refunds and residual funds will be credited to the credit card. All other refunds will be mailed to the student. Admission fees and recording fees are nonrefundable. Refunds for dropped courses will be processed after the third week of class.
